This One Goes Out to All the Buttholes with Trixie and Katya

The speaker shares a deeply personal journey of healing after undergoing rectal surgery due to severe pelvic floor dysfunction, which included painful bowel issues, incontinence, and chronic anxiety. The recovery was physically and emotionally challenging, marked by complications like eye injury during anesthesia, intense pain, and a strict period of inactivity. Despite these hardships, they emphasize the importance of openly discussing rectal surgeries and pelvic floor disorders to combat stigma, especially within LGBTQ+ and marginalized communities. Chronic anxiety, present since childhood, has shaped their life, with symptoms including panic attacks, sleeplessness, and a constant fear of humiliation. They find relief through physical activities like stretching, inversion, and creative expression—particularly drag culture—offering grounding and joy. The experience of attending a live performance by Nymphia Wind and Plastic is highlighted as transformative, showcasing artistic excellence and community connection. Throughout, the speaker advocates for greater access to healthcare, emotional openness, and shared stories to reduce shame and empower those facing similar struggles. Their journey reflects resilience, honesty, and a commitment to normalizing difficult health experiences while prioritizing self-care, joy, and community.

(upbeat music) - Oh, I have to take two of us something. I have. - Let's talk about it later. - I have entered a vicious, so I wasn't drinking for probably a month. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I wasn't drinking for like one or two months. And I just was getting wild and starting again in its creative vicious cycle of having one or two drinks and ordering a thin crust pizza from Domino's. - You got to get into better pizza. - Thin crust Domino's, I know. - I know, what are you talking to? And it gives me either diarrhea or completely stopped up. There is no middle. And it's a surprise every time. (laughing) - Okay. - Will I shit my brains out or not do it for a week? - Can we just get something else out of the way? - Why? - I did have rectal surgery. And you didn't talk about it on the pod. - Well, if not anyone want to hear about it. - If not now, do we want to talk about it? Nick just started shaking his head. - It doesn't matter if we have already discussed it. We're going to discuss it once the game. - So, something. - Okay, yeah, ad nauseam in fact. - No, I don't think it's enough, please continue. I want to hear more about your blood. - I had to get a surgery. - On your where? - On my butt. - On your butt. - 'Cause my pelvic floor dysfunction has gotten so bad that I was having all those problems being and all those problems pooping. - So to be quite specific, so it should be in her car or her boyfriend's car and she would just shit. - Or piss. - That's not true. - That didn't happen. - Well then, why did you have to go to the pelvic floor doctor? - I thought it was 'cause they were spontaneously pissing and shitting yourself. - No, and plugged. - Locked. - So you weren't able to. - Things were getting locked. - I was peeing 20 times a day, a tablespoon at a time. - Ew. - Why a tablespoon? - My body was retaining urine. All of the muscles in this area have been so tense from the panic and anxiety that nothing is flowing. Okay, I get queen. So finally, I just, I don't even know, you know what, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. - It matters a lot. - If I can't tell these people about this. If I can't demystify the stigma surrounding rectal surgeries, then I'm not doing the stigma. If I'm not, then I'm not doing my job. So, yeah, you're doing due diligence. - Do due diligence. I won't give everybody all the details. - Actually, I want them all. And I am everybody, so spill it. - So I got a bad, huge, painful, external thrombose hemorrhoid. - Okay. That is disgusting. - And the pain was so bad, I could feel my heartbeat in it. It was awful. - I can't handle my heart. - The doctor, yeah, this would have never resolved in its own, you have to have surgery. So he calls for surgery a week later. So let me tell you the levels. - Okay. - All of my medicine I'm on for my Inkleosine Spondylitis, which is an inflammatory disorder, I have to stop taking those for surgery. So all my arthritis comes rocketing through the wicked witch, full body, and full body inflammation, fever, like everything, my knees, everything. So all my arthritis hits hard. And then, they did not tell me about this, but apparently this is like one of the most common complications when being put under. - Death. - So I have too much panic and anxiety. I'm in the doctor with the paper thing on the paper gown. I probably waited for an hour before I got put under, cried the whole time. Cried the whole time. Cried so bad that they called my boyfriend to come sit by me, and I just cried. Tears, big fat tears rolling, couldn't stop. 'Cause I'm so scared of being put under, I don't know. Panic and anxiety. - So, they don't tell you this. One of the most common complications is that while you're under anesthesia, - Oh, they nick the cornea. They can abraise your cornea. So, I guess I was face down. 'Cause their ass is too fat. - And my eye was open and got scratched. So not only do I have, I go home from this surgery. Like, there's so much bandage wrapped all the way around me. My butt is mailboxes, et cetera. It is basically taped shut with packaging everywhere. And they said, "You're gonna wanna just keep the sound "for like a full day, trying not to go to the bathroom "if you can't go great, great." Trying not to go to the bathroom. And coming out of anesthesia, I go, "I can't see." My eyes scratched. I know what it feels like to have a scratch. I was like, "I scratched." Apparently it's super common. They have to tape your eye shut. I don't think my eyes were tape shut. It was awful. So I'm pissed because obviously I just had to make butthole cut open. - You can't go to the bathroom and you can't see. - Can't see. So I'm just laying on the couch. And they give me pain pills, which I hate. Hate pain pills. - Yeah, I miss it. - That's gonna stop you up more even more. So I'm taking maybe six gallons of mirror locks a day to make sure everything is good because when that area's healing, you can't be pressing, right? - Right. - Everything has to come out smooth and easy, which has never happened in a day in your life. - So I'm trying to heal myself and heal the world. So my boyfriend's never seen all stars too. And I said, "You know, if you wanna see "Cottia really amazing on drag race, you gotta watch this." We put on episode one, The Talent Show. And I'm waiting to rewatch the whole thing 'cause I want us to watch it together. But I just wanted to watch one episode to show my boyfriend. I take a picture and I'm on pain pills. I take a picture of the TV with you doing gymnastics. And I put on my story. And after I put it on the story, I realized there's a huge jug of mirror locks on the table. So people probably think I'm just sitting home, blowing ass, watching RuPaul's Drag Race, all stars too. I'm stopped up. So what do I do? I put on the RuPaul show and I drink a gallon of mirror locks. Yep, it's not crazy. I watch Cottia TV and have mirror locks. Gotta shit myself. So bad, but anyway, shit. I'm three weeks out. The doctor said I'm 75% healed. I'm doing good. Oh, baby. Can we get a round of applause for her blown up? I'm pretty good. But if you can avoid having to have that surgery, I really, really, really, really would recommend it. The first time I went to the bathroom, screaming. Screaming, blood. Not breathing, mother five years. Mother, brother such a gon. Gone, yeah. The whole area is so-- Cold stuff. Cold stuff. That you're scared to go to the bathroom. I've never been scared to go to the bathroom. It was so bad. That's tough. But I'm healing now. Well, congratulations. That is not take seven to eight little bird baths my butt every day and then have to add lotions and potions. I heard about that. There's a lot of friends of mine who get their blood pussy holes blown out. But I will say, ever since I started talking about this and this, people have come forward. The number of gay men who have reached out and said, can I have the number for your proctologists, eye a fissures, fistulas, fissures, the girls all have secret private, secret private, torn apart holes and they need a referral. They're blown out. They're in trouble. F A Gs are hurting. And I don't like being put under, it's scary. Everything but it scares me. We talked about this before because I listened to it, but-- You did? Oh. No, no, no. Just this point, I'm about to say. I don't know if it is, so what you're describing is anxiety, like there's fear, like I'm afraid of a tiger that's about to pounce on me and like your body has a response to it. Right. But like anxiety is like, is a maladaptive behavior pattern. Right. And it's not a joke. It's not a joke. No, it's really, really horrible. It's capital, it's been capital D debilitating. Yeah, yeah. No, and so I swear to God for like, I would estimate that from my earliest memories, say like 4, 5, 6, 7, whatever, up until 22, every single night debilitating anxiety, every single night without stop, doesn't matter, school, no school, whatever, every single night, hour to two hours to get to sleep because my brain is spinning with anxiety, diarrhea all the time. I was like, I noticed I'm waking up freaking out and I googled it and apparently before you wake up, your body starts to naturally produce like stress hormone so that you tell you get up. And if you have stress anxiety problems, that like plus that is too much. Yeah. I've been waking up sick, seven, wide awake to break down a little, like Gary Bucy. Eyes open. Yeah. Horrible. Don't love it. Don't love it. No, it's horrible. Don't love it. If I was born in another time and I didn't grow up in the 50s, I would be, I would have had a generalized anxiety disorder for sure, generalized GAD and then I'd be put on anti-anxiety medicine daily, therapy, I'm in, they're twice a week now, the F.A.G.s are hurting. They are. The F.A.G.s are hurt. The F.A.G.s are anxious, but I'm committed to overcoming, learning how to, with pharmaceuticals, learning how to handle more, maybe not, but I'm just trying to learn how to not freak out. I was never like this, I was never like this. What turned you into this, gay, being gay? Maybe like two years ago when I had that Metibee, it all started. But I was never like this. If you said you were weak and weird, 35, but 34 is Jesus here. That's when everything changes, your body is changing, body is changing. No, I'm serious though, like how do you, how do you deal with the, with the threat that's not there? Well, lately, my strategy is to actually physically pivot and do something else, particularly creative project, drag, something beauty or drag-related- What if you can't do anything? It gets me very present. Okay. What is another way to get present if you can do something? Have you ever tried meditating? Yeah. You want me to sit and think- Not think. I want you to sit. I know every time somebody recommends meditation, I get mad because I know it works. Yeah. There's every single person on the planet earth where if they're asked what meditation and they've thought about it or been suggested to them, they say, I know I should do it, but I don't. Yeah. 100% in people that say a stable meditation, deep breathing, deep breathing, stretching, stretching. Yeah. I do stretching a lot to get to combat. Got an inversion table. Flip me upside down. What? Are you serious? Hey, upside down. Got it at my house. Got it for Christmas. Do you say more about that? Well, I want to know about it. Show you a video. I want to experience that. Yeah, it's very you. I think you would get addicted to it. Let me tell you, the veins on your head would get so big. I'll say down. But I go upside down. Ropes. I just don't have a table. This is a girl. This is where I'm at. Oh, but I don't need that. I could just go to a handstand. Oh, right. Yeah. Oh, but it's you, it's relax. What I like about it is you hang from your feet so your vertebrae gets so stretched out. Yeah, yeah. I feel like that happens in a handstand though. Maybe not. Maybe not because you're tense. And your weight is your weight isn't supported in any way. It's stuck. It's still the body weight stacking. How much that cost? I don't know. I got it for Christmas. Who gave it to you, Santa? My boyfriend. Okay. Can you ask him? Queen. Yeah. Probably. Probably. That's really cool. What do you say to the kids out there who have to who who are trying to overcome the anxiety? Okay. Now, this is not a joke. And I'm not joking. I've seriously spent my almost my entire like childhood in teenage years and early adulthood. And I can't overstate this. I can't exaggerate this. A constant hum of undeniable, unavoidable capital A anxiety scared of everything. Everything and not just everything scared of nothing like nothing. What are you afraid of? Nothing. Vivid assurance that I'm going to die that day. So my love is going to die or I'm going to I'm going to experience the ultimate humiliation. I'm going to be I'm going to be so humiliated that I'll have to kill myself. Huge personal crisis is a faith surround artistry. Sure. You're not funny. I'm a fraud. I suck. People are just people just give me the benefit of the doubt for some reason that's going to run out soon. Yep. Whatever. Whatever. Yep. Yep. Yep. Um, all of that. Yeah. It's like the it's the worst thing ever. And um, it's uh went to a few like things that I I had to learn that like a life is not a competition and it's not a game. Like there's not a game like you don't win or lose that life whatever. That sounds corny. But like the other thing was um the the there's a friction between your nonacceptance of whatever is happening and you're like I say this. Like the the level of your discomfort can be measured by the the degree to which you are in a position to what is happening. Does that make sense? Can you say it again? The degree the level. Okay. The degree of your discomfort is is like directly proportionate to the to the amount of I say this when you're not accepting reality. Oh, I can't I wonder how do I see this? So like what is it? So it's like nonacceptance of I don't know it. I don't know how to make the point. Forget it. Did you want me to get use some speech pathology? No, it's like a really simple thing. The F.A.G.s are hurting. So like it's um oh I'll have to go up and look up my encyclopedia Britannica later. I'm sorry. You're just gonna have to go look it up. Yeah, I'm gonna have to go look it up. Now I'm a fraud. I don't even know what I'm talking about. I should go kill myself. See that's that's the behavior pattern. That's what I mean. Yeah. And then there's also the second hand of it is knowing that your anxiety about a scenario is kind of unfounded. And then beating yourself up for being so imagined scenario. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Concerned of all the things that haven't happened. Yeah, it has a there's a feedback loop that happens to it. Well, I mean every day like I I think it was like until drag race. I was like up and it was like three. I was 30 then I felt I felt it every night on drag race like the most insane I'm gonna kill myself anxiety. And it was like where you can't eat, you can't sleep. Oh yeah, it's horrible. Absolutely horrible. Absolutely horrible. Because the surgery have many more exercise at all. That's really bad for anxiety. They don't let you exercise at all. That's crazy. And that's been kind of making it worse. That's crazy. Yeah. I hate it. Sometimes a physical experience exercise is very grounding. Yeah, I was going to say like it's like the number one. It's like when whenever your doctor's like, I don't know, it's like are you exercising? Are you moving your body? Are you drinking water? Are you sleeping? So all the basic stuff. If you can't like do that, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. What about joy and positivity? Are you guys performing at apocalyptic tonight at the plaza? Yep. Let's talk about plaza. Let's talk about it. Let's really talk about it. If you would like to wait 40 minutes for a bottle of water, that's $10 cash, go to plaza. I don't have experience waiting for the drinks, but I do know that it does take forever. Apocalyptic gets full every time. It does. They will not hire one bartender. Why is that, do you think who's not really that interested in tending bar? No, it's more of like a it's more of a show, but you know what it is. Do they get L.A. Do they get even drink anymore? Don't they do pills? I think they're doing G. I have read a funny tweet the other day. It's like what's I guess there's like a trend of like somebody asking a question and then somebody quote tweeting it and saying, I know, but you don't want to hear it. You know what I mean? Girl, you're not going to like the answer. I think I heard a clip of you describing ketamine as I'm like three feet to the left. That was my friend. Yeah, that's what my friend said. That is what it is. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this is like what I wish there was something that could like mimic the feeling of having eight beers, but won't get you fat. And somebody's like, I know, but you're not going to like it. G. G. Yeah. How much G do you do? Maybe that has something to do their anxiety. I did once in 2000. Maybe you should start doing G every night. 2014. Yeah. I did it after right before Drag Race up until you remember on season seven of Drag Race. I had a sunburn on half my body. I did a bunch of. I'm sure we can fall asleep on a roof somewhere. Ages ago. Girl, maybe you should start doing G again. One time I was at a party at Kim and I were talking. Oh, Kim and I were talking with us last night. I saw Kim Chi at an infi and plastic show the Serpent's tour. You're going to tell everybody she go see. Go see it. Kim and I obviously when we get together, we immediately reminisce about like things that just like only she will remember that we were together and it was crazy. One time she now we're at a party in Milwaukee at this giant house party. And somebody had a tiny. When people pull out the tiniest little piece of drug bag, little plastic bag and Ziploc from a Barbie house. Like really? It's like a Ziploc from a Barbie. Yeah. American Girl Doll Ziploc. Like little purse. They had pills in there. I remember they had, Kim and I were talking about they had pills in there that had they got in the hot tub and it perforated the water and melted the pills. And the person was dipping their pinky into the melted pills and like trying to eat it. That's Cronford. Kim and I some were like hot tub, hot tub pills. And he described it as Chinese Viagra. I don't know if that's right. Chinese Viagra. I thought everybody would respond the same to the same Viagra, right? It's not racially charged. Right? Did you breathe today? I don't know. That is Chinese Viagra? Maybe that was a street name. I like don't know. I don't know. That's crazy. I was talking to a friend about drugs and I was like crack. Wait. What is it? Okay. I was just going to say, we can't, is this crack or crack? What is crack? Because crack. What is crank? Okay. Okay. What do they say? Because I know what they are. I don't know. Well, crack. I, I, I, I get to admit, I, I, I, I fling that term around, willing, willing. When I call you a crack, no, I don't do crack. Yeah, I don't do crack. But I say that all the time too. I use it as a catch-all for hardcore drugs that usually may rise or smoke. Is everything correct? Is it like in the South, how they say a coke, but it's any soda? That's exactly what I, that's exactly. Yeah. Or a coke or a coke. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. No, yeah. Well, famously, a drag queen that I worked with, I'll never forget this. It's like, I don't smoke crack. I free base. Right. So good. Girl, I was watching Delta work and she was saying that she went to a drive through at Carls, Jr. That's another one I struggled with. Carls, Jr. It's a mouthful. Carls, and she went through the drive through and she got a burger and a soda and she got the, I guess, the large burger or something in a soda. And she said it was $18 and she, she said, no, thank you and pulled out of the driveway and left. She said, I'm not paying $18 to eat my car. And I was like, that is right. That's amazing. Well, just, I mean, I had the opposite experience every Tuesday, Taco, Tuesday across the street from the new studio. Ask me how much four tacos are. Ask me. Take a guess. Take a guess. Well, what's the restaurant? It's just a restaurant. Okay. The restaurant for my house, they're, they are $7 each. Baby, four for seven. Four tacos with seven fucking dollars. Oh, good deal. Were they a lot, little, they were dog tacos. Yeah. La Vallita Cantina, my favorite Mexican restaurant. They are, they are, I don't know if they're obsessed with me. They're truly nice. They treat me nice. So, and I go there about once a week and I get a tequila and I get tacos and I sit and I pivot my chair out to the celebrity science, celebrity Scientology Center. And I try to look in the windows. And that's like my little meditation. - That's great. - That's my meditation. - I love that. - And I love that street by the way. - The tacos used to be four or five bucks, and I would be like, God, they really could be charging more, huh? And then they did up 'em to seven bucks, and now when I go there, I go, aren't you fucking high-falutin' now you're all uppity? - Well, they're giving you the celebrity charge. They downcharged me 'cause they know I'm, I don't mean shit. - Listen, I think they're six or seven dollars now, and it's 100% worth it. - Yeah. - I love those tacos. - I mean, I love these tacos too, and like I said before, you know how I make about 60% of the dollar that you do. I get also get charged that on the meals that I do have out. So it all comes out in the wash if you think about it. - What's happening? - I was like, when you and I work together, and we make dollar for all the same amount. - So that's the way you're wrong though. - Why are you suddenly not making so much money? - So you're kind of like, you're getting tripped up on that terminology because you're saying it wrong. When we get a gig together, we do work together, but we get paid different amounts 'cause I get paid about 60% of the dollar that you do. - But do you negotiate down? - No, no, no, no, I say, I say I'm a human being. I just have the same amount and they say, well, would you please shut up? Does it make you feel fish? - We'll say 70 cents on the dollar. - They say, please shut up 'cause your opinion doesn't matter here. It's a man's world and I say, oh. - Right, so it's mostly about sexism for me. - Are you gonna buy any of Sippy-Sweepies lingerie? - I bought it all. I'm actually the top hat investor, the main investor. Is it called Surnah or Sierna? Or Sierne? Surn or Sierne? - I wish it was Sippy-Sweepie. - Brought by Sippy-Sweepie. - The stupid onion was like, they're gonna have sizes from, oh, we got to boy yo yo yo. - So stupid. - I love it. - So stupid. - I saw one that was like, Mitch McConnell. - Oh, we got to boy yo yo yo yo. - Mitch McConnell is filibustering death. - Filibustering. - 'Cause she's just bright purple. - She needs to wrap it up. - Tim Bonnie's gonna come get her. - Can I tell you, and this sounds horrible. - What, I hope you die. - What? - When I'm scrolling and I catch a video of Mitch McConnell falling. - Oh, I love it. - I just start jacking it. - Oh my God, the penis comes out and it gets hard. - And he falls like, I know this is a podcast. He doesn't trip. - No. - He doesn't trip on stairs. No one pushes 'em. The floor's not slippery. He's just standing. And then he, he, this, he goes like. - He crumbles. He crumbles. - He just lays down. - Well, you know what, all these fucking Washington old. - Oh my God. - Right. - They have no muscle tone. They're literally like, I hate them so much. They're like literally wasting the air that we breathe. - You know what I love? Do you know Patagonia? - No. - This drag queen who she's dedicated her entire life to like environmentalism and political discourse. And she's iconic, she's raised a bunch of money. But she loves, she has the perfect physique. She's obviously a super clean eater who like loves fitness. And she loves to rip into like the lack of like, correct form. - No, sure. - About other people's of like. - Oh, great. - Republican exercise. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, Marjorie Taylor Greene. - What's up with her? - I don't know. I don't know. We want to know what's going on with her. But back to the Mitch McConnell. - Mitch McConnell. - What's gonna happen in Nicki Minaj? - Um, I don't know. I mean, you have to think about. - What the hell is that? - I'm lemon a cock sucker. I'm sorry, cock suckers up there with Faggot. - I think it's actually a little worse than Faggot. Like, she's, I think she, I mean, I know what she's doing. She's just trying to protect her pedophile husband. You know, it's not lemon. Love Donald Lemon. - Yeah, don't love Nicki Minaj. - Donald Lemon. Do we have any joy, anything? Oh, let's talk about the tour. - The tour. - You and I are going on tour. I know, I'm only getting paid 60% of what you're making. - Give me a second. - No, what if this was like a nightmare where I was like, here's your script, we're going on another script tour. - I was like, you think I'm gonna wait years later and get you to memorize something now. - Thank you. - I've already known about it. Where are you? I already wrote it up here. Okay, I wanna say that I'm sorry about your bottle. You know what's fine? I, you know what's sad? I'm complaining. I could afford a doctor. I could access care in America. So I don't wanna complain. I don't wanna seem like, well, I still think I reserved some right to complain about my butt hole being cut open. Please don't tear me apart in the comments for seeking care. - No, and if you do, I, I, I, I'm out of touch. Tricksy, rich out of touch. - Rich out of touch. I implore you to consider the fact that perhaps James Vanderbeek's late wife and children are having to do a good fun meet because he, because his like two late wife, that's not how you say that. - Oh, how do you say it? - She's not dead. - Oh, he's the late husband. What does that mean actually? - I will say, I wanted to mention it was in my notes since you and I filmed James Vanderbeek. - Has passed away. - Has passed away Hara. - Yes, Catherine Hara. - You guys, I'm not even like that. The only time I ever cried for a celebrity I didn't know was when Adam Schlesinger got died, who was from Fountains of Wayne and wrote, like, so much of my favorite music cried. The day Catherine died, I was going through Instagram and they shared a clip of her on Shits Creek when she's marrying her son. She says something about life and like how, and I just like, immediately cried. That bitch tore. - She's incredible. - That bitch tore everything. - Yeah, incredible. - The power of storytelling. We are lucky to have been. - If you don't let me cut out this house and make it my home, I will go and take it my name. - Yeah, it's so good. - It's hard. - Lydia Deets. - Well, can I talk about the tour? - What tour are you talking about? - The Serpent's Tour. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. - With Nymphia win and plastic. - Okay, okay, please. Nymphia win, Nymphia win, Nymphia win and plastic. So I just want to say, they come out. They're telling these funny jokes. First day to pull the answer, amazing. And they're, you're gonna love this, a VIP for basically only Drag Race Queens. - Wow. - So you could go to the drag show and actually just watch the show. And you got to just watch. And everybody was there. Roger was there. Bianca was there. Manila was there. Kimberly Chi was there. Money was there. - Everybody's there. - Right. - So I go to watch the show, got a free ticket. Thank you to the girls for giving me a free ticket. Plastics, husband, text me. I said, thank you, yes, I will. I've never seen plastic or Nymphia live, but I've met them both several times and I love them both. - They're so incredible. - So I was excited because it was rare that two drag queens, I formally like. I'm excited to see, they did eat. They absolutely ate. The video content was great. - What did they do? - Nymphia was making some jokes about like, basically I forgot what the joke was, but it was like a joke about how she's like fat standing next to plastic, which is humorous because they're both 90 pounds. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - But plastic talked about how on tour she basically only eats salad and tofu 'cause she's so death to finally slim and basically naked up there. - Oh, okay. - This seems like this disturbing you. - Yeah. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's fine. No, it's not disturbing me. I'm just like, I'm, go ahead. But it was humorous for Nymphia to be like. - Well, it's like, you know, it reminds me of is like, because I'm a little, I weigh a little more than you, then you're always calling me fat and hounding me about my weight. I think that's kind of what you're just like triggering. - Well, I think, don't you think Violet and Gotmic? - Wait, do they do that to each other? - No, but they're both so destined. - Like death, the finally trend. - Well, Violet's huge. - Right, right, um, so. - So they're doing that jokes back and forth. - Plastic, I just wanna say like, she's horrible. - Ugly. - You and I should not get back into it. - No, I know, I know. That's why I don't go to these shows 'cause I don't wanna see what's possible, okay? - You may or with to the floor. - And she has mastered this thing that I, okay, please don't do a side by side of me doing it with plastic, but we'll do it. - She's mastered this thing, which is like, away from the audience, tossing the hair. - And, and this is more like the hair isn't like a-- - It travels, there's a, there's a, there's a-- - And it's real hair. - I know. - It's not swing plastic, like me. - Yeah. - A velcroed loaf. - Oh, my hair all back home, when I tried nothing moves, or you just see exposed that. - It's a loaf, yeah. - There's a swing in a, in a poetry to it. Their costumes were so cool. They get to say like, who's from Vietnam, who's from Taiwan, the audience is all excited. - Yeah. - It was a great show. - You loved it. - It was fucking great. - Now, I loved it. - What about some of their costumes are so incredible? - Not so incredible. - Oh, how was it? - I felt like an hour. - I felt like you just ran, which is all I want. - I mean, you know, I don't think you're actually the last longer than 60 minutes, but that's my point of view. - It was, they just looked so good. Nymphia had this thing at the end where she's like, almost like in a backpack, this giant, almost like gold coin medallion floating, like behind her, she's standing there and it's somehow attached to her, kind of like Victoria's secret wings and there's like a thing. - Yeah. - They just, they looked great. The costumes were great. The lighting was great. The dancing, the number of dancers, hold on. This was just last night and I was drinking. So now it's like all coming back to me. - How many dancers? - Plastic does, she did a bad romance number. With what I was perceiving was probably 70 on stage dancers. - What? - No, it was probably like 25. - Wait, what? - 25. - Where do you even get 25 people put them in the same room? She's lying. - I'm not kidding. 'Cause I asked, I said, do they, I'm mad. - Yeah. - I'm like, do they, what do we got, Kelly on crutches? Seriously. - Kelly whine out out on crutches. - Damn. - How many, how many? - How many actually asleep in the sky? - I know, how many, how many for real though? - I'm not kidding, at least 20. - I don't believe that. - 20? - They told me that for the LA show and for Cisco show that maybe they had extra dancers. - Okay. and the acrylic all the time. I was the best Gaga number I've ever seen really it was some of the best moment in drag like a drag number lip-syncing with a wig on with people Holy shit that I'd ever seen damn ice I Taped Alaska Because all the drag queens are there and she leans back and I go when you watch plastic do you think of me? She's like who are you and she like kind of laugh but didn't say much and then I turn and I like that joke And I said you know, I'm gonna try to somebody out of your shot I can I can run it again a matinee performance and I tap money's husband. Yeah Hello, when you watch because nobody's not I'm just trying to get trying to have friends. Yeah Yeah, when you watch plastic doesn't make you think of me and he was actually it's hard for me to watch her because She's there and you're here How do they make that? Thank you. Thank you. That's funny. Thank you Now which who would win in a cage fight plastic or Nymphia, well, they they find a lot of the the story was a little lost to me I'm gonna be honest. I didn't really know what was going on if there was a story Okay, they talked about serpents being significant into certain like myth that I but I didn't I didn't know that significant garden They have I don't want to give away their whole tour. They have a lot of video elements There's these dancers they have Giant fans with fabric swords actual sword well fake swords. Okay sword fight acrobatics Wow people flipping through the air like shenyan dance arts literally. Yeah, it was some of the best Dancing for a drag show I've ever seen so like they were great and the dancers the dancers were eating the men were the men in the show were Professional dancer supermodels. I don't know what to say gorgeous perfectly sculpted overhead on this fucking thing. They're making any money I don't know actually another account But I can tell you that it seemed to me that the focus was on Making the show good the show looked like it cost money and so the audience benefits from that. That's great It was awesome. I wish I had gone it was really worth it and not that big of a venue I don't mean that a shady way you could really see them. Yeah, yeah, they're like right there. It was awesome If you guys I think they're touring a lot more still please in the world go see them. It was great. What's the tour called? It's called serpents tour starting nymphia wind from RuPaul's drag race and plastic from RuPaul's drag race I mean I got I I just admire them from afar especially plastic and I'm like They were also funny on the microphones great banter they really seem like It's so impressive And they're kind of different personalities, but they are both they were talking on stage like at their core They're like we're both freaks freaks and dorks. Okay, and they really embrace that so they're all gorgeous and hot and sexy, but they kind of are Real dogs No, yeah, I know what you mean that's I took a video of a dress that I need you to man I know that this is a pot and I don't care.

I tell you what would happen to me. Look at just standing It's so porny if I looked like her. I know I'd be doing me less. I think that's too much. Well, you probably would have been killed No, I think they would wheel me out in a glass case like snow white and you would do a viewing kind of like You just get your eyes You need flowers like I'm sleeping, but I look great. We got everyone's my open your eyes. Let's take out your tongue It was just great. I'm so angelic. She I when she does she does like she's the queen of like doing that thing And then the thing and then that's just so pussy. I'm in nymphia. I mean the fact that I think she still makes all her costumes They are what? That's crazy. I made all of her shit on drag race all of it That is wild because I'm over there. I'm struggling with my little brother sewing machine That's crazy. They're so talented. I did I got the same now I feel like when they break you should just throw them away. I know that's horrible But well this thing hasn't broken yet, and it's really wild because I got like a new one I got a new brother for like hundred bucks or even less. Yeah, they make like the yeah $100 more so easy all the bunch of stitches you could do straights exact blah blah blah It doesn't work quite as well as my oldie, and I still love that bitch. She's an old raggedy bitch She's like Mitch McConnell right, but she still does a stitch and she's like and I can just run I can run her I think I'm running her into the ground, but she's still she's been making a lot of drag Well, yeah, I mean show up to Netflix. It's always off the rack. So what are you making? It's not even shady No, what are these costumes? You're secretly making and you don't wear them. You just make up We'll see the thing is that they are secret costumes and I do wear them, but I don't want anybody to know about them I'm telling you no seriously because I have said I've been sewing for like, and you show up in the Albanian Hitchie store outfit Yeah, with the text on it. Yeah, it might like right right out of the right out of the box wig Right the text, but I've been wearing my I have my I now I'm so excited to have a real honest to God like fetish And I think you can call it that like so you have a foot fetish for example You have like a shoe fetish. You have a rubber fetish. You have like a whatever kind of fetish. So it's it's a sexual or in this case It's more of a sensual, but like a let's call this sexual That's Lisa Banner pump with dogs I'm dead serious. I don't think it's sexual with Lisa in the dogs. It's not sexual. Okay. I'm saying she it's a fixation feels every amount of that Except sex to the dogs. Yes, she's like well She's like look at my dog. Isn't it just the most sexy beast you've ever seen in your life? That's a little lovely. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean dogs are easy to love of course. Yeah, yeah, but I do but it's so it's like Oh, it's like a sexual hobby. It's a secret hobby the secret sewing. No, no, no, no It's like So you I feel like you are very open-facing very like if I want to do this and I figure out how to make money doing it I figured out how to like if I'm gonna do this I wouldn't like make it into a business or like you know I mean share it somehow like nothing, you know This is the opposite of that. It's like how it's like oh, I love this. How do I can seal it? How do I keep it for me? How do I? And then so where are the costumes? That's a great question. I will never answer No, they're my house. They're my house. Will they get worn? Yes, but not in public Costumes and by the way, I know that you so it's like I know you won't even put on the body to to do it a fit check You hog. No, no, no, there's it's it's not female on your studio barefoot, which is to wig on take a picture off on your phone No, it's not a wig. It's not with the wig. It's like so it's imagine I'm oh, you know what it is It's imagine the secret uncle cross-dresser. It's very like that and he does that back say that Say that say that so it's like imagine I got a whole Cabinet full of these little outfits that I like I'll buy an Amazon or somewhere and then I'll alter them with my sewing machine And then I'll you know wear them at home I kind of miss sewing. It's some day you would let me come over and just make something absolutely not but I Know I invite you to the studio at the studio I invite you to the studio the other day and you said I can't do it. I hate you. That's not true You were in FaceTime and you were like we're still setting up. I don't know, but you'll love it. It's it's a great I Having in the studio is especially when I hate my home. It's such a great place to like You still hate your own. I hate it with a fire firey furious passion and every day that I wake up I thought you like loved your bathroom. I love my bathroom. I hate my home. I Hate it and this is champagne problems again because a lot of people don't have a home to hate right but um I I'm a person that needs privacy. Right. I don't know. It wasn't private enough. Are you fuck getting me? I can lift up apartments. I can basically like here live above the gay bar. You need privacy But that was different though because they were but the gay bar sense bitch. I need privacy, but men come up here That's different. I brought those men up on purpose. Also, there was I Don't like sharing walls with people. I don't like living in a complex. I like I wanted to Anyways, I'm just gonna have to worked up about it. I think about it. I hate it. I hate it hating your home is like horrible It's tough. I do hate it. I have an opposite experience at which is you love your house because it's beautiful I love my house. Yeah, well sometimes to this day. I've lived there what two years since the Renault I'll just be working on my computer and I'll just go That's what That's what I use I just burp was that's what I used to do when I would my other when I burglar. Yeah, yeah I used to go up there almost cry. Yeah every day at sunset Sometimes I'd rush home other times I'd peep my head out of my bedroom to look at my living room and say I'm so lucky Because I looked at my the way that I have my living room set up with the stupid lanterns and the lights and the couch So it was real poster and I said I love this so much and I was like feeling so overcome with gratitude like a real honest to good just like sincere level of gratitude that I have no experience To date right because I hate this fucking place that I'm at now and To I've already started to like make a checklist of the things that I would need to do in order to try and sell all this home, this townhouse, and it's so daunting, and it's so exhaustive, and it's so expensive that I get completely flustered. I break down and I was cry every time. - Why do you, I can't just paint a white, move out. - That is easier said than done. Because half of the place, like our, because I've already started to like, redo so much of it, half of it's not done, half of it is ugly as fuck. So it would just have, you'd have to go. Which half is ugly, the one you did or you didn't do? I'm not joking, I can't touch it. - The one I didn't do. - Okay. - Like the bathrooms, for example. So it's a three-story townhouse. I hate that why I have that much space is beyond me. But like, I don't walk up the stairs all day. - I know, I love stairs. If I could, I'd live in a three-room townhouse, but just stairs. I love stairs. I love, love, love stairs. That's not a problem. But it's, so there's like a full bathroom, two full bathrooms and a powder room that need to be like ripped to shreds and redone. It's so expensive. - I saw a really interesting TikTok talking about bathrooms and they said the secret to making your bathroom look good is do not decorate it like a bathroom. - Okay, to say more. - They said, no shower curtains, that look like shower curtains, no bath mats, no soap dish that matches a toothbrush holder, like nothing baths. - So that's me. - They said, oriental rugs on the floor. They said art on the walls, plants, fabric, like. - Okay, so that's like my bathroom. - And I was like, wow. - That's interesting. - That's cool. - Yeah, like that. - And now I'm interested in doing, like I wanna do curtains like this in my upstairs bathroom. - Drapes in the bathroom. - Drapes against the wall. - So then it's the bathtub with drapes. - Drapes. - But on the wall, plant. - A microwave. - 'Cause it's the only where my house that has no natural light. So I'm like, I might as well go cozy and make it feel kind of small in here. - You know, I hate natural light. - You do? - Yeah, well, I mean, I don't hate it. I don't hate it, let me get that. But I actually prefer artificial light 'cause you can control it. - I love the sun. - You love the sun, I guess, love it. - When you wake up, do you wake up with the sun? Like does the sun come shining through your windows and into your face? - No, no, because everybody I've ever had a bed with wants them closed. - Okay. - I have a cup of, I hate, I hate getting paid more than me. - No, my own pet peeves is, when my pet peeves is people who have every door and window closed during the day. Like dark inside, you walk in, it's daylight outside. You go to someone's home, darkness. - It's keeper. - I'm like, that makes me feel so claustrophobic. - Well, that's funny. You say that because yesterday was the first time probably in forever that I opened every single window in my, in the house to get the air. - That's what I was trying to do. - It was more about the air. - Did you fart? - No, but it's like how the air can get so stagnant and stale and they needed the cross breeze in every floor. But I felt like I was living in Armageddon 'cause I could hear everything in the neighborhood. It sounded like people were barbecuing in my bathroom. - Oh yeah. There's one food truck that used to come, girl, there's a food truck that used to come when I lived at my studio. - Yeah. - Dada, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. And that same truck now comes to my new house because they're building across the street. And I think the truck goes to where maybe people are working outside. - No, it's just following you. - And the horn is off-tune in a way where I went, you're joking. - And it's all day? - No, not all day. I was like, if I, I recognize that tune and the horn being a little off so fiercely. And if I walk out here and I see that truck painted, the way I in my mind it's painted, I know that I'm being followed. It's that truck. - Fuck. - Maybe I just got to buy a taco. - Yeah, that's it. - Maybe it's a hard stuff. And I famously love tacos. - Just walk outside and get the tune out. - I get the tune out. - I just should wait for it. - Do you like ice cream trucks? - I love them. - It was like magical when we were in the little kids. - We did not have that in the country, believe it or not. But we had, do you know about this? I think it's Swanson, this ice cream truck that comes to your house like once or twice a year. - That sounds like a pizza. - There are things like frozen meals, frozen dinners, ice cream. Like an adult girl scout. The meat I would come. Am I crazy? Swanson would come to your house like once a year and you would order like all your frozen meats for the year, whatever. - Your frozen meats for the year? - A lot of people in the country have those huge freezers 'cause they're just frozen so far away. - Gotcha. - So you freeze everything. - Okay. - And that was thrilling because oh my god, the Swanson guy came. Here's all the Fudgey wedgies or whatever you want. It sounds like not fresh. - It's frozen. - Frozen. - I guess frozen stuff doesn't go bad. - Girl, a few blocks from here. I saw some Girl Scouts selling cookies outside of a house. Back in my day, you had to order cookies. So how are these little bitches getting cookies to sell in person? Is that cheating? Do the parents buy those boxes? - Wait, wait, what are you talking about? They're not selling them? - I thought you order Girl Scouts cookies and like eight weeks later your knees disappeared a lot. - Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure. These bitches had real cookies on a table in front of the house. - Fierce, did you buy them all? - What's your favorite Girl Scout? - Cookie? - Yeah. - Fuck. - Tagalongs. - Tagalongs. - Tagalongs. - Then men's are great. The older I get, shortbread. - What are the ones with the caramel in them? - Oh baby. - Samoas. - Samoas, those are my favorite. - I think it's some markets that are called Triff Triff Boils. - Caramel Delights. - And some Caramel Delights. - Caramel Delights and some markets that are Samoas. - I have the Girl Scout Cookie app. - There's an app to the girl come when you, it's a Girl Scout cookie finder. - What about Boy Scout cookies? - I have little trackers on all these little girls. I just go to school or whatever and say like, "Hi, Betsy, you better get out here." - Did you have, did you have, I feel like it's like a, it's almost like, I'm not an extortion, but I'm sending those girls. I just feel like there's something wrong with it. - I feel like there's something wrong. - Well you can't say no. - That's what I mean. - But I think back in the day, you could probably walk your daughter door to door. I don't know if I would bring a child door to door now. - No, we had to sell, at the Catholic school, we had to sell chocolate bars too to fundraise for the, there's the private school they went to, it's just like such a crock of shit. And I felt like it was such a pressure and it was so out of line. - Were you a Boy Scout? - No. - We be selling popcorn. - That's crazy. - The girls have cookies. - Yeah. - And I have a tin of seeds. - Popcorn can't, there's not even popped. - No. - So you're selling seeds? - Seeds. - No way. - That's bullshit. - Seeds. - With pictures of boys camping on it. Weird. - Oh, it's so weird. - Weird. - You know what I mean? - A little weird. - Weird. - A little weird. - We wanted this bag of seeds. - Seeds. - And then the girls have ready to eat. - Gorgeous delicious cookies. - Gorgeous cookies. - You could eat the right things. - You could steal it from the girl at Eda and not pair. - And I think when I was in high school, the boxes were 250. They're probably, they're probably more expensive now, but they used to be like 1380. - We're getting old, down would it be like, back in my day, girls, cookies were $2.50. I don't know about door to door selling. I don't think that's effective. - Is it even safe to trick or treat? - What? - Do you know what the Christians do? - What? - Hallelujah Harvest. - Shut the fuck up. - They have a parking lot at the church where people come dressed as biblical characters. - No. - That's almost as bad as having Halloween on another night. Which is what a lot of neighborhoods do. They say, "Well, it's on a Tuesday, "so we're doing it on the Saturday before I say that's cheating." - My school used to always do it at three. My town always do like 3.30 to 6. - Okay. - Or right after school. - So it's not dark. - So you would, the school, your class would have like a Halloween party. Do you guys have Halloween parties? - Of course. - You have a Halloween party and then you would leave and go trick or treat sandwiches. - So it was in dark, so you can get hit by cars and stuff. - But it was called winter coats. - There you go. - Dressed as Spider-Man in some shape with like a winter hat on. - Did the adults dress up as well or is that corny? - I think like a type of person would. - Okay. - Like your dad would be like, "I'm dressed up as a packer van." - Okay, gotcha, gotcha. - Okay, not that I have a dad, but I imagine. - Did you watch the Super Bowl? - Of course. - Bad Bunny. - I mean, sex, machine. - I watched, bad Bunny. I watched, I didn't watch the Super Bowl, but I subscribed to Peacock, so I could watch the halftime show. - $169. - This is how woke I am. - $169. - I'm so woke that I was like, okay, I got invited to a party to go watch the Super Bowl. Let's go. It was like a dozen gay people watching it. And I was like, wait, what? - But it doesn't give you a 12 TV supporting bad Bunny. And it said we're around one. - Thank you. - Shouldn't we have all left our televisions on? - Shouldn't we have all paid $169.99 to buy Peacock? - I showed up and I don't know what it is. It was, I'm happy to be invited to a Super Bowl party, but I've gone to too many parties hosted by gay people in Los Angeles that there's no food. And I will freak out. - That is so weird. - Okay, so that is so weird. - I will freak out. - You can't, it's not a party if there's no food. - I got there, there was chips, dips, different guacamole. We brought a cheese board. What about the wings? - There was no wings. - There's no wings. - No. - There's no burgers. - Oh, there was burgers and hot dogs. - But no food. - There were some hot dogs. - Oh, no, I'm not saying they had no food. - Oh, oh, oh, oh. I understand. - I was happy to find out the food. - I forgot you got your food, because usually that's not the case. - Yeah. - That's crazy. - There were multiple people there that I think their weight was in the teens. - Jesus. - And so. - What are these are doing? - I just broke the ice and was like, well, I'm just going to get started on the food because I knew, I know in any social scenario, like does everyone eat before they go places or does no one want to eat other people's houses? 'Cause I show up ready to fucking rub my ass all over the kitchen counter. - If I'm going to any function, you know where I'm going in the snack. - I'm going to eat. - And then if there's no snacks, I'm going back home. - A hundred percent. - Like, you know what I mean? People go to, people always just add art school. They always want to go to the gallery openings, because there was one. wine. That's it. There was just wine, just wine. I may be a little cheese. I need food. Yeah, fuck that. And I've been really into these little bags of chips. What kind of chips are they? I'm going to tell you. There's three favorites that I like really fuck with. Okay. Sunchip, harvest cheddar, roast, tart. Love it. Put them on a sandwich, even. Love it. Crunchy Cheetos. Crunchy Cheetos. Not puffed. That's sick. Oh fried Cheetos. Yeah. The crunchy ones. Crunchy Cheetos. Love it. Tor. Okay. Doritos. Doritos. Doritos are the most important chip. It's life changing. I could eat a bag of it for dinner. What about cool ranch? Not cool. Okay. I love that you said that. I feel sick of the cool ranch agenda. Oh, I feel so sick. I hate it. So to be back. I hate the color. Oh my god. Oh my god. I feel like I was the only person in the entire world who felt this way. I swear to god. I fuck it. I put a scream. I want to take my clothes off. Don't touch me. I can't stand it. Do you know what excited? Do you want some Doritos? Yes, I do. They're cool ranch. Instant disappointment. Yeah, I couldn't, I would rather eat any kind of shit. Your shit, her shit, animal shit, bird shit. It tastes like cool ranch Doritos. It tastes like, they're so disgusting. It tastes like used floss. And they smell foul on it. Fowel. And yet Doritos on the other hand are still a very strong, very strong flavor, not a subtle snack at all. No Doritos are serious. They're serious and you have to have a breath plan. You absolutely. There's no like it's like a finger plan. When you're yes, when you're a smoker, you have to have a you have to have a post cigarette. A propelander. Yeah, you have to have a strategy because you can't just walk into a room with a fresh cigarette breath if you hadn't have a mint, a little piece of gum or something. You used to, you have to always think about that. Same thing with Doritos. But cool ranch Doritos are so disgusting to me and they always have been and I've always thought I was the only person on earth who felt that way. I can't stand ranch in general. Then cool ranch. I hate ranches. Well, you ruined the Doritos. You ruined the Doritos. You ruined my nice. You ruined my, you did it at my birthday dinner and you did it at my birthday dinner. Well, I was, while you were eating cool ranch Doritos, I was in Brooklyn. I will say to you, I like bad money, of course. Oh, yeah. Well, so sexy. I mean, sexy. I sexy. He seems like and I mean this lovingly. He nice and dorky, which is hot. I know that man is lovely. I know, this is hyperbolic. I know, but I swear to God, he is, to me, he's like, I find him so attractive in every single way. Yeah. Like, and I just love, he's about joy and, uh, gorgeous love bad money. And I love that whole middle, but something about me, I'm so not used to football. I don't know who those teams were in a while. I don't care. I don't care what happens. Every time bad money turned around with the football, I thought he was holding a baby. Like my brain could not accept that it was a football and I kept going, oh, a baby. Oh, he's got a baby. Oh, it's not a baby. Bad money. He, um, well, then I watched a bunch of like conservative pundits like wax, um, just get told tied up about him. His, his, his, his performance. And one stupid bitch online was like, um, she, I guess like, she doesn't really know how to interpret anything because it was Megan Kelly. No, it was Laura Lumer. Megan Kelly is, I, nah, I feel like she's, now she's just trolling for like, um, the lowest common denominator, the denominator. The other day she said, you guys keep calling him a pedophile. He's, these women were 15, 16. They're almost legal. Yeah. And Laura Lumer was like, they're not nine years old. Yeah, idiotic and just rancid. Laura, this is the bitch Laura Lumer on Twitter was like, uh, how ironic that he, like, performs with these like electricity things when like, part of record doesn't have like electricity. I was like, did you maybe think that that was the point? You stupid fucking bitch. Is it like, does it, does it have to hammer you in the head any harder to realize that something could be like symbolic or represent a, English is not this country's for fucking language. We don't have an official language. There's no official language in the United States of America. And B, if you're going to pick an art form where you do not have to speak the language to get something from it. It's music. Music. Oh, like, hello. Yeah. I did not understand one word. No. And I loved it. And I think I got what I was supposed to get out of it. What do you think you wrote? You wrote, you scroll through my playlist. You think there's one, when English language song music. Yeah. It's great. Don't know what's about. Don't need to know. I feel it. I feel it. I love that, buddy.
